2011-04-29 Fri (Bank Holiday) - The Republican Ride

When Charles got married, London Transport offered, for the first time ever, a go anywhere on the tube ticket for £2. I bought one and went to Ongar, Ealing and many other places that one would never think of going to nor want to. I didn't celebrate the wedding but avoided it.

The idea of the ride is to get away from all the nonsense of the wedding and the public hysteria surrounding it and go off on bikes. What better day to celebrate some of the events in our nations history that have diminished the power of the monarchy?

Reminds me of an old joke--'I was in Paris that day for a Murray Lachlan Young gig which was taking place in Edinburgh.'
